Whatever the reason, an alarm clock malfunction or an unexpected phone call, some mornings you just have to rush your beauty routine. Cut back on morning maintenance by streamlining your beauty with the following tips:
Soothe Skin in the Shower
Plan ahead by keeping your favorite skincare products in the shower. This way you can cleanse, exfoliate, and moisturize skin in a flash. A bonus: the steam from the shower help products absorb quickly. When you jump out of the shower you’ll be ready for makeup.
Get a Quicker Blow Out
Try using products that do some of the work for you, such as the ceramic, quick-drying boar bristle brush from Goody. Another time saver, try sectioning hair before you style. With less hair on your brush, hair dries much faster.
Try Two-Timing It
Try swapping some items in your makeup bag for a few double-duty items. Use a tinted moisturizer with a sunscreen, such as Merle Norman’s Sheer Defense, that does the work of three products: foundation, moisturizer, and sunscreen. Another multi-tasker to try is cream blush. By applying a cream blush on cheeks and lips with fingertips, you’ll get a natural glow quickly and easily.
Reach for a Band Aid
One signature timesaving style comes in the form of a headband. Slip one over the top of unruly hair for an instant accessory update and easy style. In addition to great brushes, Goody also makes affordable and beautiful headbands, barretts and hairclips that can be found at drug and grocery stores.
Get it “To Go”
Investing in a travel-sized cosmetic palette, like Too Faced “Glamour To Go,” can save valuable time in the morning by cutting back on makeup application. With all your cosmetic products in your purse, you can apply throughout the day -- or whenever it’s convenient -- not just in the morning.
